History: (She-Hulk I#5 (fb)) - At some point in her criminal career, Silencer was captured, shrunk with Pym particles, and placed in the miniature prison known as "The Big House".

(She-Hulk I#5) - The Mad Thinker enlisted Silencer in an escape scheme, along with a number of other prisoners.  While the Scorpion was mauled by a Vermin-summoned rat, the Sandman hid the escapees, while Silencer silenced the sound of their escape.  Silencer and the others overwhelmed the guards, shrinking the male guards and using the Mandrill to seize control of a female guard.  Silencer and her fellow escapees used Pym particles to shrink even further, and stowed away on the skin of the visiting She-Hulk.

(She-Hulk I#6) - Silencer and several other villains were dislodged from She-Hulk's hand when she itched it on the roof of Timely Plaza, falling to an unknown fate.

Comments: Created by Dan Slott, Paul Pelletier, and Wayne Faucher.

I'm just assuming Silencer is a mutate or a mutant here, given that her suit doesn't seem to have any gizmos in it...

So what happened to Silencer?  We've seen the other guys who got "scratched off" (the Wrecking Crew, the Scarecrow, and the Grey Gargoyle) since, so she presumably survived and regained her proper height.
